Base

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

A collection of unique digits that are used to represent numbers is known as a base in mathematics. In the binary system, the base is 2, which means it only uses 2 digits, 0 and 1. Similarly, the octal number system employs 8 digits (0 to 7) with a base of 8. The decimal number system uses 10 digits, from 0 to 9, and has 10 as its base. The base of a number system is used to convert any real number denoted as ‘n’ into a different number system. In this article, we will explain the concept of number bases and their properties in detail.
